What?

And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a valiant man of Kabzeel, a doer of great deeds. He struck down two heroes of Moab. He also went down and struck down a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen.

1 Chronicles 11:22

What?

Does anybody have a clue what this means?  I'm thinking it would be pretty brave to kill a lion in a pit on any day but, apparently, the snow added another dimension of awesome.

And he struck down an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits tall. The Egyptian had in his hand a spear like a weaver's beam, but Benaiah went down to him with a staff and snatched the spear out of the Egyptian's hand and killed him with his own spear. ²⁴ These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada and won a name beside the three mighty men. ²⁵ He was renowned among the thirty, but he did not attain to the three. And David set him over his bodyguard.

1 Chronicles 11:23-25

Ok.  Seriously.  This Egyptian was about 7 1/2 feet tall.  I don't know how tall Benaiah was but the Israelites were not generally tall people so I highly doubt he was even near 6 foot.  Most commentaries agree that this dude's spear was probably around 7 feet long and 3 inches in diameter.  Benaiah not only went after this Egyptian, he 'snatched' the huge spear (which was bigger than his whole dang body!)  out of the hands of a man way bigger than him and killed him with it!!!  That's hardcore folks. Then it says David made him head of the bodyguards.  Good call, Dave.  Good call.
